Q&A for How to Make Butter Slime

Yes, you can use flour, and mix in a little bit more salt than you would if you were using cornstarch.

You can try adding 2 or 3 tsp of water and microwave it for one minute and mix. Repeat it for several times if you want it softer.

Activate it more by adding Borax or laundry detergent.

It doesn't take on the same texture and stretchiness that butter slime will have. If you're using shaving cream, you'll just get a fluffy slime instead.

Yes; just follow the clay-free method, but use a borax solution instead of laundry detergent. To make the borax solution, take a teaspoon of borax powder and stir it into one cup of hot water until it's fully dissolved and the water is clear. After that, you'll be able to use it as your slime activator.

You can use any type of shampoo, as long as you're not allergic to it. You might want to mix it with a tiny amount of water before mixing the rest.

You have to make the slime first. You mix the clay and the slime, not the glue.

No, but different detergents may alter the slime slightly so find the one that works best for you.

You could try using the peel off face mask slime method and add some baby powder. Activate the face mask using eye drops or contact solution.

Most likely you just incorrectly calculated the new amounts you needed for your ingredients. There's no reason why halving the ingredients should change the final product.

You can spread it easily on a surface.

You can buy it at a convenience store, like Rite-Aid. If you can't find it, then use a laundry detergent that contains Borax.

If you use normal clay, your slime won't feel like slime. Use air dry soft clay or daisy soft clay.

You can use Borax or contact lens solution as well.

You could, but you would need to use more Borax.

You should add it little by little until you get the correct consistency, because it doesn't have a fixed amount that you should add.

Just follow the recipe on top and don't add too much detergent at once, as it might become soapy or very hard.

I recommend adding detergent little by little, then if you see that it's still sticky, just keep adding a bit more until you like the consistency.

You can use any brand of detergent. You should try out the detergent with a tiny amount of glue, then add it to your butter slime mixture. or else it will be a waste of ingredient if you fail. And, yes, you can use Borax?

It is a type of slime you can spread like butter.

Yes. Glue contains an ingredient called Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) which reacts to the laundry detergent or whichever activator you use. If you don't use glue, your slime will not work.

Yes, that works as long as the powder detergent has boric acid in it. You can use Borax or Tide.

Any solution that includes boric acid will work. Check the ingredients to make sure. If not, you can use eye drops. You can find contact solution at your local drugstore and in most grocery stores.

It does not matter, you just need a very light, squishy clay such as Model Magic.

Play-Doh has a different consistency than clay - it's stiffer and dries harder. It's best to use an air-dry clay to keep your slime nice and smooth.

Yes, but it doesn't work as well as Daiso soft clay. As long as it is an air dry soft clay, it should work.

You will need clay to make the slime have a soft, spreadable consistency. Without the clay, the slime will be sticky and it will not spread.

You should add a tiny bit of slime and twice the amount of clay, and add more activator to the slime.

It is not recommended, as it melts easily.

Yes, you can. Be careful not to add too much lotion.
